Carolina Panthers
Confidence: 90%
I think Indy continues to become 0-11 after this game. They haven't looked too good all season and while the Panthers have certainly not had the best season, they're looking better than the Colts. The line is -3 in favor of Carolina and the Colts just don't look good without Manning.
4:15
New England Patriots
Confidence: 85%
The line favors the Patriots by -3 here. The Pats have been looking great in the last two weeks, combining for a 76-19 score against their opponents. With Vick and Maclin out, I think it's enough to give Brady and the Pats the edge.
7:00
Minnesota Golden Gophers
Confidence: 90%
This pick is basically based on the line, which is at -5. The Gophers are undefeated so far, but that's not saying too much since Dayton is 4-1 also.
9:00
Saint Louis Billikens
Confidence: 85%
I picked this for the same reason I picked the Gophers above - the line. Saint Louis is favored by -4.5 here, which is good enough for me to choose them.

UCLA: Win or Single Digit Loss
Confidence: 85%
With the line at -5.5 for Michigan, I like the 4 point cushion for UCLA. These teams are close in caliber, as in it shouldn't be a blowout.
Duke Blue Devils
Confidence: 95%
I like the line at -5 here for Duke, giving them that 5 point cushion. These teams are both high caliber teams, but I think Duke is a quality, solid team and should win this one in the end.

Michigan: Win or Single Digit Loss
Confidence: 85%
Duke's supposed to win by -6.5 here, which gives -3.5 point cushion to Michigan. Duke is a better team, but Michigan certainly has the potential to play at the same level. Given that they are both high caliber teams (Duke with the edge), I like Michigan Win or Single Digit Loss.

Miami Dolphins
Confidence: 70%
My main play on this pick is that the Dolphins are favored by -3. Granted, the Bills normally look better than the Dolphins, but as of late, the Bills have not looked good. Also, Miami has the home field advantage here and they have played some teams close over the course of the season, demonstrating that they have the potential to do well. With the line at -3, it's the most favorable of the 1:00 games.

Cincinnati Bearcats
Confidence: 80%
I don't like many of the props today, but giving -3 to the Bearcats at home seems to be one of the better choices for today. They are at home and their only loss came on the road, in Tennessee. West Virginia does have an explosive passing offense, but the Bearcats have been playing well, and with the combination of the -3 line and home field advantage, I'm putting my confidence in Cincinnati.
Michigan State
Confidence: 70%
I like Michigan State here. The oddsmakers are giving -2.5 for them, which is not much, and they are on the road. MSU has also not won in Iowa since 1989. That said, I like MSU's in this matchup, which is ranked 8th in the nation. They have also shown that they can definitely win, with defeats against Wisconsin, Michigan, and Ohio State. Iowa has not been very consistent, losing to Minnesota. With the -2.5 line and its great defense, I think MSU should win here.

Tampa Bay Lightning
Confidence: 70%
I'm not big on hockey, but out of all the hockey games tonight, I like the Lightning in this matchup. Chicago is hot, hoping to its three game win streak. Tampa Bay is coming off a three game home win streak also. However, I like the goaltender matchup for Tampa. Rolson will start for Tampa, and he has won the last three games played against Chicago. I think that Emery starting gives an advantage to the Lightning. A big factor in my decision in this pick is also the line, which favors the Lightning. That, combined with the goaltender matchup and the home field advantage, favors Tampa Bay.
Any Other Result (USC @ Colorado)
Confidence: 80%
I like Any Other Result here due to the line, which gives -20 to USC. This leaves a 5 point cushion for the prop, which I like for football. USC has not won by 25+ points at all this season. Granted, they have definitely played better teams than Colorado, and Colorado has lost by 25+ points this season. USC also put up a fight against Stanford last week. However, Colorado has the home field advantage. I'm trusting the oddsmakers more on this one, as I believe there is a reason that the line is at -20 despite USC's stellar play against Stanford (and others this season) and Colorado's not-so-stellar play.
